How to Choose the Right Netting Solution

-
Material: HDPE vs. PVC—HDPE offers UV resistance and durability; PVC provides flexibility.
-
GSM/Thickness: Heavier GSM is better for long-term durability and protection; lighter GSM for shade and airflow.
-
Dimensions: Accurately measure the area to avoid wastage or insufficient coverage.
-
Installation: Ensure proper tensioning, supports, and accessories to maximize lifespan.
